I have a question... If we are going to be on the move, and switching out impressions from our Iron Brigade Hardee hats to 12th Corps forage caps, what are we expected to do with our $100 Tim Bender army hats? I hate to crush mine by shoving it in my knapsack the last day of the event, if it even fits in there. It may be a dumb question, just asking.

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. - Niccoló Machiavelli, The Prince. 1537.

Mike-Rob Murray and I have talked about this very topic. I won't blast what we're working on out there for the world to see as I don't want to step on toes or speak for Rob. Rest assured though that we have what we think will be a pretty simple solution. (and it does not involve Anders giving up his sexy officers kepi for a Hardee I did 19th Indiana at Anders High Tide event and had the same worries when we switched impressions mid-event so I know where you're coming from.

We already have a secret wall tent for just this purpose Mike, not to worry.

Hi Mike,
One of the things the brigade is working on. The final decision will be made by each battalion commander.
This is one of the challenges with portraying two different brigades for the event. If we move it will not be a 4 mile march so I don't think your hat will be get damage.
